Succulent Leaf Propagation — Week by Week

Propagating succulents from leaves is the thing that took my life from being a succulent admirer to a full on addict. Seriously! What could be more fun than watching little baby plants grow from seemingly nothing?!

Tell me (and all our succulent friends) when you’ve started propagating by sharing a photo in our awesome Facebook Group!

We’ll help keep you consistent with watering and help you out along the journey to lots of new plants! If you don’t have succulents of your own to propagate from leaves, don’t worry.

You have some options:

Ask a friend if you can have some leaves from their succulent

Buy an easy to propagate succulent or two at your local Lowes, Home Depot, or Walmart and look for other succulents that have dropped some leaves (snag those and add them to the plant you buy)

Buy as set of leaves from The Succulent Source to propagate (it’s a fun mystery to see what leaves you’ll get!)

Below you’ll see some updates of how my leaves are growing. I’m hoping these will motivate you to give it a try. It’s sooooo much fun!

Round 2

These are watered a minimum of 3 times per week. They are outside in temperatures between 38 F and 80 F.

Round 1 | Set 1

Started October 20, 2017 — These were photographed sporatically, but the dates are listed with each one. In the center of the orange tray are some cuttings (not succulents grown from leaves).

Also, these were kept outside in a Zone 9 climate. They experienced a few nights temperatures in the low 30s, but daily highs were approximately 65 F.

Watering has been inconsistent so growth has slowed.

Propagating succulents from leaves is so much fun!!! If you want to learn more about how to be successful, take a look at my ebook, The Secrets to Propagating Succulents, and I’ll help you get from leaves to plants!

Specifically how many did you lose from what you started with? Ive had quite good success but when it comes to transferring to them when the leaves have died is when I loose them. Ive tried spraying every 3 days… every 6 days … letting them dry out in between but it just seem like they want to grow any more!! Help from the point of transferring!! Thank you Janice
